Abbie
Abbie has dropped in from Mindwave! Is that game even out yet?!
Light as a dream and swift as a kiss, Abbie has a strange take on the standard rushdown formula. She has plenty of speedy aerial combo tools, sure, but with a variety of grabs, projectiles, and wacky move mix-ups, it’s hard to pin her down to just one playstyle. Keep your foes on their toes by throwing curveball after curveball. But be careful about getting hit yourself; it’s not hard to send you flying!
NSPECIAL – Mwah!
Blow a rather dangerous kiss at an enemy, launching a bouncing heart that explodes into a wave of spikes on the ground. You can change the angle by holding forward or up, and the longer you charge, the further it flies.
FSPECIAL – Hug Run
Build up energy and run at an opponent! At the lowest level of charge, you’ll just bump into them, but wait a little longer and you’ll be able to grab them. From there, launch them into the air by pressing the special button again or simply let them get launched away with a powerful flop.
You can interrupt the attack by pressing special before hitting someone, but watch out; you’ll be vulnerable for quite some time!
DSPECIAL – Chatter
Sometimes you just have too much to say. Mash random inputs or simply hold down the special button to yap, then unleash by letting go or pressing the parry button. The longer you talk, the bigger the speech bubble and the harder you’ll hit!
Feeling cheeky? By holding down the taunt button at the start of the move, you can prevent the bubble from popping early. Have fun typing nice (or mean) messages through your inputs! The letters available are limited, but I’m sure you can think of some fun things to say…
USPECIAL – Spring Jump
Transform and spring into the air. You’re highly mobile in this form, and by bouncing on people’s heads you can launch them down while sending yourself up! You can only bounce on the ground so many times before being forced to touch back down, so don’t get too greedy.
FINAL SMASH – Crane Game
Take control of a large claw and try to grab an opponent. If you can snatch an opponent at a high enough percent, you’ll just lift them up and away!
Abbie has quite a few extra tricks up her sleeve. Here’s a few not-so-hidden tricks you can pull with her moves:
– Jab: The final hit is a command grab. You can hold forward or up to change the release angle.
– FTilt: Another grab attack! Mash the attack button to pummel, and tilt a direction to throw.
– UTilt: Hold the attack button down to delay the candy toss. Hit the candy with an attack to recover a little health! (Watch out, your foes can do that too…)
– Dash Attack: Press the attack button with good rhythm and you can continue the attack.
– FStrong: At full charge, you can fire a projectile from your magic wand. (But get hit while charging and you’ll be a fish out of water!)
– UStrong: Hold left or right and switch places with the Abbies at the far ends of the line.
